Question
A 10-year-old boy, in elementary school, started saying that he felt pain when swallowing, noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking, and has been a bit feverish. How should high fever in children with tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, it is first recommended to use symptomatic antibiotic medications for systemic treatment, and regional treatments can also be chosen to enhance the efficacy, including methods such as pus pocket irrigation and direct injection of medication into the tonsils. If the main symptom is throat pain, consider administering painkillers. If the child still has a fever, consider fever-reducing measures. If the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. The above are common treatment methods, but if the child’s tonsillitis frequently recurs, it is suggested to consider surgical treatment early on. Parents are advised to pay attention to this disease and take their children to the doctor for treatment as soon as possible. It is also important to pay attention to relevant prevention and health care work in everyday life.
